Recently monitoring gold market trends, I found that the price of 24k gold in Malaysia has been rising rapidly. Since 2025, gold prices have experienced an epic surge, with an annual increase of nearly 65%, the strongest performance since 1979. International spot gold once broke through the high of $5,600 per ounce, and is now stable above $5,000.

Local gold shops in Malaysia are quoting prices that follow the international gold price upward, with the retail price of 999 pure gold approaching a historic high. Gold prices have been particularly volatile recently, fluctuating within the $5,000 range, causing major gold shops to adjust their quoting strategies, with some even updating prices twice a day in real time. On one hand, investors holding physical gold are eager to cash out; on the other hand, large funds are continuing to build positions at high levels, aiming to complete hedging arrangements before prices peak.

The rise in 24k gold prices in Malaysia reflects global risk aversion and inflation pressures. Many investment banks have raised their gold price forecasts, and the market has officially entered a normal state of high gold prices. This week’s market remains quite sensitive, mainly depending on geopolitical developments and U.S. economic data, especially the non-farm payroll report, which could influence the Federal Reserve’s rate cut expectations.

If you own physical gold or are interested in trading gold, it’s advisable to compare quotes from several gold shops now, as the premium margins vary significantly during this period. International spot gold is usually traded nearly 24 hours from Monday to Friday, and Malaysia’s local gold futures also have fixed trading hours, so you can choose the most suitable trading method based on your needs.
